On diets, or lack thereof

I'm not sure if the Kit Kat people would be interested in Gary as a new spokesfish, but he'll probably work for feed.
Gary the gourami was donated to a London aquarium after growing too big for his tank. "At first, staff at the Sea Life London Aquarium were baffled by the 4kg fish's refusal to eat until they learned it had been fed nothing but chocolate." (which may explain his 8.8 pound size)

Aquarium fish-keeper Rebecca Carter says, "[W]e would not recommend feeding fish confectionery of any kind."
Good to know. Now I have to throw away my goldfish's Smarties.
